Nellore:The ongoing annual Brahmotsavams of Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy at Srinivasa Mangapuram are witnessing not only spiritual fervour but also heartwarming hospitality, as TTD serves delicious and uninterrupted Annaprasadams to nearly 3,000 devotees every day.
With the generous support of donors, devotees visiting the temple are being offered wholesome and tasty meals from morning till night. Many pilgrims have expressed happiness and gratitude over the quality, variety and timely distribution of the sacred food.
Continuing its long-standing tradition of providing free Annaprasadams to devotees visiting Tirumala for Srivari darshan, TTD has extended similar arrangements to all affiliated temples, ensuring that no devotee leaves without partaking in the sacred meal.
As per the directions of TTD chairman Sri B.R. Naidu and executive officer Sri M. Ravichandra, the arrangements are being closely supervised by JEO Sri Veerabrahmam and temple special officer Dr T. Ravi. Under the guidance of special grade deputy EO Varalakshmi and AEO Gopinath, the Annaprasadam service is being efficiently managed.
Every morning, about 700 devotees are served breakfast items such as Pongal, Semiya Upma, Tomato Rice, Khichdi, Veg Rice, Chutney and Kesari.
For lunch, devotees are treated to a traditional nine-item Maha Prasadam spread that includes rice, leafy dal, chutney, sambar, rasam, curd, appalams, a sweet and a banana.
At night, around 700 devotees are offered dondakaya rice, khichdi, tomato rice and veg rice.
Additionally, under the TTD Annaprasadam Wing, Pongal, Upma, Vada, Chutney and Sambar are served in the mornings, while Sambar Rice and Curd Rice are distributed continuously during the afternoon and night.
Maintained with strict standards of cleanliness, quality and punctuality, the Annaprasadam service has become one of the highlights of the Brahmotsavams, drawing appreciation from devotees who describe it as both spiritually fulfilling and satisfying.
Meanwhile, as part of the ongoing annual Brahmotsavams of Sri Kalyana Venkateswara Swamy, Lord Venkatadri Ramudu blessed His devotees on Hanumanta Vahanam.
Hanuman is often considered as the loyal servant to His master and sends a message to the devotees that pure and sincere service leads to salvation.
